Announcements!

As many of you are already aware, IBM announced ND8.5.3.

http://www-01.ibm.com/software/lotus/notesanddomino/nd85.html

Beyond the typical fixes, we now have access to Connections Profiles and Files as Domino customers. This is all in an effort to help businesses on their road to becoming social businesses. This is great because there are Notes plugins for these features, bringing this content to the users at no additional cost.

We already have access to Portal at no additional cost if it is used to drive content for Notes clients and not a Portal implementation. (limited use for ND customers)

What about Activities? I would love to see activities added to the list of entitled software, but we need to take these things one step at a time. Thanks IBM!

ND 8.5.3 also brings us an improved Traveler experience for the Droid community. With greater attention to the Android platform, we now have support for newer devices and better overall security through feature leveling across platforms like partial device wipes.

It has been hinted that this is likely the last major release in the 8.5.x code stream. This means it will soon be time to look for ND9?

We also heard that IBM has a new offering, the XWork Server. This is an application only (XPages driven) server that allows you to deploy up to 4 applications (not just 4 NSF files, mind you) within the limits of this flat fee license. This means that there is no abacus required as you try to calculate your PVUs. Ed Brill covered this in a recent blog post.

http://edbrill.com/ebrill/edbrill.nsf/dx/introducing-ibm-xwork-server

There are numerous applications that I can think of for this server. I believe this could be a good thing for IBM. This reminds me of a recent conversation on LinkeIn where someone had suggested that IBM separate apps from mail in the Domino product line-up. Offering an applications only approach to maybe embrace (SHUDDER) another email platform along side of Domino as your RAD environment.

Buried in the Inbox, besides these important announcements, LS12 is ramping up.

Heads up: Get out your social calendar. It's time to add Lotusphere 2012 to your agenda!
Lotusphere, IBM's premier collaboration event, kicks on on Sunday, January 15, 2012. As in past years, Lotusphere 2012 promises to be content-rich.
Whether you are interested in Social Business strategy or product features and capabilities, the event promises to offer something for just about everyone. Attend and:
- Listen in on over 300 sessions
- Pick up technical tips and tracks
- Hear about best practices and see live examples
- Tour the Solutions Showcase and see real-world solutions firsthand
- Socialize with your peers, Business Partners and IBMers
Are you ready to expand your social circle?
Register for Lotusphere 2012 today: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/lotus/events/conference/index.html
I look forward to seeing you in Orlando!

Did we already start collecting session abstracts? Where have I been?!?

Well, kids… this is definitely a very short summary of this busy week in the Lotus camp. Good luck, and happy socializing.

What is Traveler?

It may seem a bit late in the game to publish content like this, but lately I have been asked this question by more that one customer. What is Traveler exactly? Now granted, they are most often looking to replace a BES and the associated costs, but the explanation needs to be made just the same. In the event anyone else also happens to find them selves answering this question frequently, I shared a small and simple slide deck for easy copy-paste operations to expedite the inclusion of this information in any deck. The content came from the Traveler web site information, and I just formatted and doctored it up to be nice on a slide.

Traveler for Droid is Here!

The wait is over, time to schedule your upgrades.
Now available - Lotus Notes Traveler for Android

Wednesday, December 08, 2010

Lotus Traveler Open Mic

Attending the LTS OM call this morning with over 310 of my closest friends. As many are, I am sure, I am looking forward to the new Android support and hope to have some more clarity around this specifically. It has not shipped as of the time of the call, but is described as “vary close”.

We started with a brief overview of what Traveler is, reiterating it’s place as the mobile solution within the Domino-based solution group. Specifically, this is the PIM and email sync component bringing those services to mobile devices, tablet devices, etc.

After reviewing the features, we discussed the system requirements.

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27007909

Device support and versions were also covered, which you can also find in the link above. The list of “whats new” in 8.5.2 was then reviewed.

The chat from the meeting is linked at the bottom. It contains some good questions and answers.

Android support will be limited to 2.x devices with the next FP release, 8.5.2.1. Still on target for this quarter, which we are running out of. The 8.5.2.1 is a full replacement like previous updates, and it will also provide fixes etc. as you would expect.

Key Questions

Q – Syncing custom “shared” address book to devices via Traveler.
A – It is an often requested requirement, but not in the product at this time. IBM is investigating how this is administered and gathering requirements for some sort of feature to cover this.

Q – iPhone PIM sync options to be centrally administered.
A – IBM indicated this will require cooperative effort with Apple. There is some of this in design, but not in the product at the moment. It is in the top 10 list of requested features with no ETA.

Q – Blackberry device support?
A – Response seems to indicate that IBM will not compete against the BES. We know there is now a no-cost BES solution for small groups.

Q – Support for Windows Mobile 7 devices.
A – WM7 is not supported in the 8.5.2.1 release. IBM is reviewing the demand and will look at adding it in future releases.

Q – Prevent Traveler from being used on devices that have been Jailbroken.
Q – Apple can not reliably detect this. IBM, therefore can not build this into the technology. They suggest using policy to make Jailbroken phones “illegal” in the enterprise. On-going issue.

Traveler for Droid

The news is out. Ed Brill posted a commitment to delivering Droid support in the middle of December. I know there are many people anticipating this release. I was a bit bummed that we missed the mid-quarter projection, but I suppose it is better late and right than on time and riddled with obvious bugs. Here is a link to Ed’s post.
